For the 3rd Skirt we used the fabric Jersey, it is a difficult fabric to use because of how stretchy it is, it was best to over lock the seams together rather than straight stitch them because if you pull the jersey to hard the stitches rip.

The jersey was stripped so i wanted to use it to take advantage of this by making panels of the stripes go in different directions. I used a pencil skirt pattern, however i made it smaller as i know jersey fits to the body and i wanted to make sure it would be tight. I then drew 3 different panels into the pattern and once i pinned them to the jersey i pinned them in different directions. I decided it didn't really need a zip or anything because it is so stretchy you could get it over anything.

It was difficult to sew because it stretches so much, so in parts it looks slightly gathered which it should be. If i were to do it again i would make the waistband with a heavier fabric because the jersey just pulled and stretched so it didn't really work very well.

I think jersey is a too hard fabric to use, it needs to be a very basic shape, like t shirts where there are only two parts to it.
